He is currently at a training camp in Syria and hopes to help set up an Islamic state in Iraq.

In a disturbing interview to be screened by the BBC tomorrow he says: “An emir decides who to choose. There is a waiting list. I am lobbying him to move me up.

“We all want martyrdom. We don’t call it suicide operation, we don’t call it suicide bomb. We voluntarily give our lives for the sake of Allah and we go there happily.”

But Sumayyah, who left Britain a year ago, insists the estimated 500 British men who have joined the fight are NOT planning to return to the UK to launch terror attacks.

Speaking via Skype from his camp in north-west Syria he says: “It’s not the plan of many people I’ve met. We really don’t want to go back. We are very happy here.

“These ideas of going back and to plot terror attacks in our countries and so on, these things are absolute rubbish. It’s the British government using scam tactics to create fear in the public. They want to give a ­negative image to Muslims throughout the UK.”

But when asked what will happen if ISIS is targeted by American or British drone attacks, he warns: “If you don’t leave our Muslim Brothers alone around the globe and mind your own business and support our enemies against us, then you can expect these attacks.”

He adds: “I don’t miss a thing about England. I felt like I was in prison in that country. Now I’m here I feel free. I can drive, I don’t need a licence, I don’t need insurance.

“To watch TV I don’t need a licence – all these things in Britain make you feel you’re in prison and you’re being punished for something. They are just money-making schemes that ­corporate bodies use to make ­themselves rich and make us poor.

“For me to be here it’s freedom. I can walk around with a Kalashnikov if I want to.”

Referring to the growing numbers of Muslim men from all over the world now joining the fight, he goes on: “Everybody’s renouncing their ­affiliation with their countries because we are now trying to establish the kalafi (Islamic state).

"We don’t want anything to do with our previous countries. Our citizenship means nothing to us no more. We are seeing a lot of not just foreigner fighters (join us), but even the people on the ground, the Syrians themselves.

“They are making a disassociation from this kind of nationality thing. Because we are from all nations, we come from all over the world. So we have one state which we associate to and nothing else.”

Last month Sumayyah spoke to a pro-ISIS internet radio station and boasted that life with ISIS is “better than that game Call of Duty.” He added: “It’s really, really fun.”
